The House hearing on Twitter's alleged discrimination against conservatives is about to start. Between House GOP anger at Jack Dorsey and Alex Jones in the audience, expect this to be a wild one.
Jack Dorsey says Twitter's blue checkmark verification program "is in serious need of a reboot."
The Twitter hearing is starting to get heated. Dem Rep. Mike Doyle says the idea that Twitter censors conservatives is "a load of crap."
Today's congressional hearings on social media could be wild. Alex Jones claims he'll be in the front row, Laura Loomer is in DC, and Chuck Johnson — banned from Twitter — says he has something planned.
Alex Jones is currently in a heated discussion with Capitol Police outside the hearing room.
The Senate social media hearing kicks off. Outside, Jack Posobiec and Alex Jones are trying to get attention from the press gaggle.

At the Seth Rich conspiracy theory press conference, where a masked witness is supposed to appear.
Now organizer Jack Burkman sags the supposed Seth Rich witness will just call in and talk via speakerphone, rather than appearing in a disguise. Meaning it could be anyone!
Now the Seth Rich press conference is on break, only 10 min after starting, while the “witness” calls in. The witness supposedly heard ATF and DEA agents bragging about the murder.
Diamond and Silk are claiming in their House hearing right now that they've never been paid by the Trump campaign. But the Trump campaign FEC filing disagrees! docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/…
Update: Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is currently explaining to Diamond and Silk that FEC filings show campaign expenditures, i.e. like the one to them. Diamond and Silk not thrilled.
JEFFRIES: “Are you aware that your testimony today is under oath, subject to art penalty of perjury?”
D&S: “Yes, we are aware of that."
